Sweet Crumb Crust

Jump to Recipe

Knowing how to throw together a sweet crumb crust guarantees you have an easy foundation to a breadth of tantalizing and easy to prepare sweets.  This versatile everyday basic works well for cheesecakes, bar cookies, tarts and pies.  Any crisp cookie is a candidate for transformation into a sweet crumb crust: gingersnaps, chocolate, vanilla, lemon and mint wafers all work beautifully here. You can enhance the crust by layering in other flavors using spices and citrus zest.

This crust is a great use for graham crackers or cookies that are just on the edge of being too stale to be eaten on their own. I’ve also found that some of the gluten-free cookies and crackers we’ve tried that were unpalatably gritty on their own, lend themselves really well to a sweet crumb crust.
